Bed Of Nails lyrics

Scott Leonard)
Vocal Arrangement: Scott Leonard

The lullaby of Broadway

Save me from the bed of nails. Oh, rest a weary head.
Just save me from a dead-end jail
Save me from the bed

Ya know ya gotta catch a few z`s, a get some shut-eye.
Ya know ya gotta getcha some sleep.
Ya know it`s time to hit -n- the hay, a lay ya head down.
Lay it down for someone to keep.

Oh Lawd this bed of nails
Ya know it`s time to saw a few logs, it`s time ta turn in.

Plenty o`pain to purchase with a nice tin cup,
Plenty o`padded sells to buy.
But this bed`s way too down-filled to wake you up
If you can`t lie upon it - just lie.

Bed of nails - sleep with one eye open,
Bed of nails - love to toss n turn,
Bed of nails - ain`t no use in hopin`
Ya gotta just learn.

Ya know its time a take you a nap, it`s time a nod off.
Don`t ya think ya oughta unwind.
Ya know ya gotta getcha some rest, ya better knock off,
Better get yo booty reclined.

The sky`s still sunny with or without money.
Feel the warmin` while we do rest.
Risin` in the east, shinin` on a beast
Slowly, surely settin` on the West.

Bed of nails - quiet`s never silent
Bed of nails - silent`s never still
Bed of nails - ta snore thru all that violence.
Ya better just chill

Next time you fly (tweet tweet tweedlydeedlydeet)
Look down where you lie (m leavin on a jet plane)
Long cool bed a steely long tall nails,
A shootin` for the sky from their dead-end jails.

And sooner or later, out of the East,
Comes a hammer in the hand of a quiet little beast.
And each tall nail that dares to reach up into space
Will pounded n hammered n slammed down into place.

Bed of nails - every point is painful
Bed of nails - a thousand points of spite
Bed of nails - Ya know the weak it ain`t for
It hurts me just right,

Ya know ya should be countin` some sheep,
A head to dreamland, ya know ya gotta hit the sack.
Ya know ya gotta getcha some sleep, ya better cash in,
It`s time that you was flat on your back
